Too true, most minorities have little influence on the Westminster village.
Which is why I'm so pleased that we loonies and fruitcakes at last have a chance of representation through UKIP.
Most other groups are well represented in Parliament - crooks, gays, religious fanatics, fraudsters and megalomaniacs are well covered.
Along with devil-worshippers, the Fruitcake faction has been sadly overlooked when public policy is constructed.
I hope that an independent Scotland will not make the same mistake, and marginalise the wierd: We can vote, and we count!
